Email. Like all your other confirmations etc from the centre.

Has anyone gotten their ILs for October interviews? When did you receive? Thanks!

I thought we would get them this week. But we haven’t gotten ours yet (DQ’d 08/17).

Yeah me too! We're DQ'd 8/18. 

Well that's sort of good to hear... maybe they're just a little late this month and we will get it in next few days 🤞

I hope so! I did read in this thread that some got the IL in the beginning of the month. So maybe it’ll be right after Labor Day!

Hello! 

 

Thanks to everyone that has provided their timelines so far, this is SUPER helpful when trying to estimate wait times. Waiting for an IR1 interview for my Spouse, I'm the USC/petitioner but we both live in the UK (I lived here for years before I met him). We submitted the DS260, 1-864(s) (we have a joint sponsor as I dont have a US job as I am also moving with my spouse) and all documents to be reviewed by NVC on 30 August, so hoping to be DQ'd by mid-September, and then hopefully?! an interview by Nov/December. Would love to be moved by Christmas! 

 

Will update my own timeline once we get DQ'd in hopes that others will find it helpful.

Nice! My husband scheduled his today. I know it’s before the interview, but I completely forgot to ask which day. He was on the phone with them for 50 min, though, so just be prepared in case you guys have a long call too

After lurking for a while trying to get an idea of timelines, I can now join in the thread 😄 we were DQ'd today Sep 6th.

I'm guessing we have missed the cutoff for an October interview, so fingers crossed all goes to plan for a November one, and my first New York Christmas with my hubby and family 🎄

I agree and think you have a high probability of being in NY for Xmas this year! And NY is the best at Christmas time. Although, I do really love Manchester and the Christmas markets, too! From the pattern I’ve noticed, you will more than likely get your interview for end of November 😊

Updating to add we got DQ’d today! Happened quicker than expected (submitted 30 August) but such a relief to know we are hopefully in line for a November interview, will be watching this thread even closer now for letters going out end of month. After losing some hope waiting for the I-130 process which took forever, things are finally moving! Hoping to have our first California Christmas this year. ❤️

DQ 1st September, assuming IL will be end of the month but will keep updated.
